A day after losing his brother, Nick, a member of The Backstreet Boys, the band Aaron opened for many years ago, shared an emotional post on Instagram.

It included several old photos, along with a caption that read:

“My heart has been broken today.

“Although my brother and I have had a complicated relationship, my love for him has never faded.

“I have always held on to the hope that somehow one day I want to walk down a healthy path and finally find the help that I so desperately needed.”

Aaron had been in and out of rehab for most of his adult life, but said in September that he had been sober for five years.

Nick concluded his tribute as follows:

“Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for a loss.

“But the truth is that addiction and mental illness are the real villains here. I will miss my brother more than anyone will ever know. I love you Chizz, now you have a chance to finally have some peace that you could never find here on earth…

“God, please take care of my little brother.”

“We were left with no choice but to take all possible measures to protect ourselves and our family.”
